Community collaboration
We work with local communities and organisations to help achieve sustainability goals.
MA students at London College of Communication designed 8 fictional services for Southwark Council to help them with their aim to become a net-zero borough. This was part of a longer-term partnership to help them reach net zero by 2030.
We also recently began our exciting local partnership by becoming a member of Citizens UK.
Citizens UK is an alliance of diverse institutions working together to:
- lead change for the common good
- develop community leaders
- strengthen civic institutions through community organising.

Staff and student sustainability funding
We provide funding for staff and students to develop sustainability-led projects. There are two primary funding mechanisms:
- Social Purpose Innovation Fund. A participatory funding pot that supports innovative and impactful projects. These can be led by staff or students.
- Climate Justice Curriculum Development Fund. Supports staff to work with students to identify and design interventions that embed the Climate, Racial and Social Justice Principles into UAL courses.
